Well, I'm new to cory's but I love the cute little beggars, really entertaining little fishey's. 
So I get home from work yesterday, and as always, go to my tank for a quick head count. Plus I like the fact that a lot of my fish swim up to the front when I'm there looking in.
So I'm counting my cory's (6 cory trilineatus) 1...2...3...4...5... where's the 6th one?
Then a wiggling catches my eye and I see the last little cory. He somehow managed to get himself wedged into a tiny hole in the big piece of wood that's in there. All I can see is this little cory face, looking at me, wiggling from side to side trying to get out.
OMG!
How on earth did he get in there! And how the hell am I going to get him out! He was truly wedged in up to his neck.
So I ran to the kitchen and grabbed a chopstick from the drawer. Tried to get it underneath him, but he's still wedged. Then (bless him, I think he knew I was trying to help) he stayed still and laid to one side. I got the chopstick down his left side and levered him out!
He popped out like a little cory champagne cork!
Moral of the story is - chopsticks are not just for eating chinese! Always have 1 handy.
PS: He was fine after his ordeal, eating and swimming as normal

I just love to read stories that have a happy ending!
